14+ Thanksgiving Buffets in Orange County

Our family got in the habit of seeking out buffet options for Thanksgiving dinner back when we used to celebrate with my in-laws. It’s kind of an annual hobby to figure out good places to go. Unfortunately, it takes some digging to find out which restaurants offer a Thanksgiving BUFFET (not just a dinner) and then it’s challenging to navigate popular review sites which make you jump through hoops with photo slideshows or clicking to their site instead of another. I just wanted a simple LIST split into Thanksgiving Buffets, Thanksgiving Dinner, and even a couple of Thanksgiving To Go options for taking the meal home.

Here’s my attempt! I hope my list helps you make plans and answers your “What restaurants are open on Thanksgiving?” question. I will make it a habit to revise early November every year.

I included prices for the buffets just for comparison purposes. Some of these restaurants may already be fully booked for the 2018 holiday. Make sure you call and confirm prices and details when you make your reservation.
